Georgetown Restaurants

While it's known for its historic buildings, foreign embassies and a popular research university, Georgetown also puts a high mark on the food scene. Culinary choices include Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian and American fare, served in exclusive restaurants, oyster bars, casual pubs and waterfront hangouts along the Potomac River. Check out the local sustainable food scene or slip off to an intimate hideaway accented by Art Deco stained glass. Georgetown Hoyas fans and trendy hipsters mingle alongside the district’s political pacesetters and international visitors. Sports night menus include wings, burgers and local craft beer. Celebrate the farm-to-table movement by trying local produce, beef and cheese selections. Keep the international vibe going with Spanish tapas, kimchi, mussels garnished with coconut curry and lemongrass or rigatoni with fennel sausage ragu.
